Yes I was one of the apparently few people still using Windows Live Mesh near the end of its life cycle. Now that it’s gone for good, I miss it. It was one of the few peer-to-peer file and folder syncing services available at the time and best of all, …

Well, Christopher Dorner’s body was positively identified just a while ago. I don’t know how to feel about this. On one hand, this is a man who is suspected of killing three people and definitely killed a fourth during his shootout with the cops, as part of a revenge scheme. …

You know what I hate? Well, if you’re reading this, you’ve probably already guessed from the title. In case you haven’t, what I hate is the fact that GameStop sells opened display copies as new and for the same price as unopened shrinkwrapped copies. That infuriates me to no end …

One of the reasons I buy Blu-Ray discs is for the combo packs that include the Blu-Ray copy, the throwaway special features Blu-Ray which I never end up watching, the DVD for my mother and father who don’t yet own Blu-Ray players (or HDTVs for that matter) and a digital …

Listen, I just don’t think this is working out. I wanted to believe things could work between us, that we could make something out of a bad situation. But I was wrong. Maybe I was naïve to think things would turn around in just two years. Maybe I was just …

It should go without saying that this is going to be full of spoilers for Mass Effect 3’s ending but, in case it doesn’t, WARNING!!! This post contains spoilers for Mass Effect 3! There we go. The Mass Effect 3 ending fiasco was probably the biggest display of consumer backlash …

Microsoft just announced their Surface tablet at an event earlier this evening and, while everyone was predicting a tablet of some sort to come out of the Redmond-based Windows barons, I don’t think anyone was expecting…this. Without hyperbole, I can easily say that this is the most exciting product to …

Yesterday, Nyko unveiled the PlayPad and the PlayPad Pro, two wireless Bluetooth gaming controllers designed for Android phones and tablets running 3.0 or higher. These controllers were designed in tandem with Nvidia and, as far as I can tell from the press release, only work with devices running Nvidia’s own …

Why aren’t I excited? I should feel a little bit excited. But I don’t. Seriously, go back in time to 2008 or 2009 or so and I’d be practically jumping off of the walls in anticipation of E3. And why wouldn’t I be? The Electronic Entertainment Expo is the biggest …

So, I got a package from Best Buy today and I was shocked to see a rather large box waiting for me on my doorstep, especially since I knew what was in it wasn’t anywhere near big enough to justify it. So I got to thinking, was this big cardboard …

About Me

Welcome to my personal website, The Mind of Game.

My name is Justin McBride and I’m a guy who loves writing, playing games and writing about playing games. In my spare time, I’m usually writing, gaming or listening to my massive music collection. I’m also something of an audiophile and can talk your ear off about the benefits of lossless encoding and how you really need to drop those cheap earbuds and upgrade to some serious headphones.

Seriously. Get rid of those things.
